    There are a few ways to do this.

    One method would be to have Global Attributes, let's call them left and right.

    Put this rule in the buttons:
    If actor receives event Touch Is Pressed
    Change Attribute game.left to true

    Otherwise:
    Change attribute left to false

    Put the same rule for the right button, but obviously change left to right.

    Then in any actor that you want to move

    When attribute game.Left is true

    As @ShmirlyWhirl suggested, you use game attributes to communicate between actors. This tutorial I've created may be of use to you (find more by clicking the link in my signature):
